Here I Go Again (Mario song)

From Contactmusic.com, there are two different reviews. Editor Candice Finney found that "this track is so funky and so much better than his first outing with "Let me love you" [...] What I love about this song is that it kicks ass, its pure R&B and he's certainly a superstar when it comes to writing about his feelings."{{cite web|first=Candice|last=Finney |url=http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/mariox15x06x05|title=Mario – Here I go again – Single Review|website=contactmusic.com|date=June 15, 2005|access-date=October 12, 2024}} The other is from JAZZILY, who rated the single three out of five stars, saying "'Here I Go Again' dynamic co-mingling of R&B with the edginess of pop rock, largely thanks to the sample from "Grease". Mario's voice beautifully overpowers the songs subtle, yet harsh guitar sound making it an exciting diverse sound".{{cite web|first=Jazzily |last=Bass|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/mariox28x06x05|title=Mario – Here I Go Again – J Records – Single Review|website=contactmusic.com|date=June 29, 2005|access-date=October 12, 2024}}
